Finally, Azita Simoni, M.D., a board certified dermatologist, will discuss the latest on procedures and skincare for anti-aging and protection.

   "This is the second year we've held the Vibrant Women conference. The response from last year's event was overwhelming. Women want to learn how they can feel better and take better care of their body," says Cheryl Bisera, the event organizer. In addition to speakers, there will be door prizes, demonstrations and question and answer sessions with health experts.

   Vibrant Woman is sponsored by Advanced GI, Inc. in Thousand Oaks and the Miller Family YMCA of Newbury Park. "With family and work responsibilities, women often don't spend enough time doing what's best for their body and health," says Katie Beck, executive director of the Miller YMCA. "The Y is a strong proponent of healthy living. We want everyone in our community to have access to opportunities in which to learn how to live a more healthy life. Vibrant Woman is one of those opportunities."
